What it is

Feta is a brined curd white cheese made from sheep's milk, or from a mixture of sheep and goat's milk. It originated in Greece and is traditionally made with sheep's milk from a local breed. The cheese is cured in a brine solution, which gives it a salty and tangy flavor.

Why it's used

Feta cheese is used to add a salty, tangy flavor to a variety of dishes. Manufacturers use it as a key ingredient in salads, pastries, dips, and as a topping for pizzas and other baked goods. Its crumbly texture and distinct taste make it a popular choice for Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.

Health notes

Feta cheese is a dairy product and a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Like other cheeses, it is high in sodium due to the brining process. The FDA considers cheese to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS). International bodies like EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with moderate consumption of feta cheese.

Allergen info

Feta cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
